"Excuse me, sir," said he, "but I wonder if you could lend me a quarter?" , Benson was startled and de manded t<J know why the % quarter was needed. "Haven't you a job?" he demand ed.

I *:x 'MY GOLDEN GIRL" IS ONE OF SEASON'S HITS Orpheum Show So Good It Is Book ed For Return in February When Victor Herbert started "My Golden Girl," his comedy, with mu sic, on its Southern tour.after, the completion of a year's run on; Broadway, his manager would agree j to play in Nashville for one night j only. "Nashville isn't patronizing the j costly shows this year," Said tihat i gentleman. Last night was the "one night on ly" in question. Notwithstanding that Santa Claus was playing an opposition engage-1 ment, a full house greeted "My Golden Giru." The audience was so appreciative of this, one of the three best attractions of the year so far, that the manager of the show beg ged for a return date immediately. "We are booked up until Febru ary," Harry Anderson, the Orphe um's manager, announced between acts. "You can have half a week then." S9 "My Golden Girl'' will play at least four more performancea^heTe, and those who were unable to get into the theater last night may have the pleasure of bearing the best work which Victor Herbert has writ ten since the days when he produced the grand opera, Ramona." This show is different' from any which has Ibeen seen here this sea 1 son. In many Tespects it is superior even to that tuneful hit, "The Rain bow Girl," and its comedy is cer tainlv more amusing and far clean er than that in "Listen Lester." A clean-cut plot of marital mis understanding runs throughout the piec^?Arthur Mitchell, a dissatis fied youn man, and his wife, Peggy, > equally dissatisfied, deciding that they will be divorced immediately, and marry their affinities. 'Pe&gy has been called "My Cold en Girl," by Howard, Pope, and Ar thur has been termed a "Knight of Today" by pretty Helen Randolph. Howard and Helen, by chance, call . at the Mitchell home on Long Is- . land just as the lawyers of the mar ried pair arrive to arrange for the , divorce. A moment later a score of friends call to felicitate the Mitchells on their first anniversary and two min-|, utes after that the parents of the 1 couple arrive. From then on there is , a laugh a minute, except when one , of the dozen principals is singing or dancing. It would he ,a shame to di vulge the ending, as others will see , the show in February. j Speaking of girls?the 'chorus in this piece forms the prettiest pic- ^ ture seen in many a day. The cos- ^ tumes which they wear would have made the Queen of Sheba jealous; their dancing would have taken Solomon's eyes off his eight hun dred wives; and their individual and ^ collective ibeauty last night made many a middle-aged man sigh for j the days of his youth, when he call ed some fair maiden his "golden jr.rl." * 1 There are a half dozen excellent ices in the cast. The be^t soprano ' the esason heard at this house , 'not even barring the Robin Hood production) was sung iby pretty Lo retta Sheridan. She has a rich, vel vet voice of great volume and range v.he was heard at her best when i singing "In Venice," when Francis Lieb, who played the part of How Pope and in "If We Had Met Before." Carrie Reynolds, as Peggy Mitch ell, brought the house down with her - lo, "0 Night in June," and more! than once danced herself into the' hearts of her spectators.' The ensemble \e'ffects of the' chorus were splendid. Well-trained, ! beautifully gowned, there was not a j marring note in their performance.J Harold S. Orr, as the dissatisfied ' -lsband, played a straight comedy part pleasingly, but character parts made the big hit of the evening. 'L uiTy Hermsen and Jack Freed, playing the part of shyster lawyers, ketp the house in an uproar. Augus tus Buell, in the humble role of a A1- ovAfiidintinff' -funnv on .. ULlfcr, waa ^ - ? more than one occasion and could dance a wicked step as well. Jack Paulton, as Clarence Swan, who al ways was longing for the dreain of youth, was excellent. It goes without saying that Her bert's music is charming, .tuneful and "whistly." This show will be worth seeing in February. ?Nash ville TennesStean.

VEXED PROBLEM TO BE DELAYED Harding Can Decide Japanese Ques tion?Treaty Not Ready Washington, Feb. 3.?Settlement1 of diplomatic problems with Japan,1 especially as arising from the enact ment by the state of California of anti-alien land ownership legislation ' will be postponed until the Earding administration assumes office, it was1 indicated today by state depart ment officials. While no formal announcement on the subject was made by the state department, it was intimated by offi- \ cials that because of the short lease! of life left to the present admini-l stration and the long standing; char-1 acter of the problems now in process j of solution between the govern-! ments, it would be the part of wis- j dom not to hasten unduly their final adjustment merely for the purpose of concluding a treaty under this administration. Officials also said that the recom mendations submitted to the re spective governments by Roland S. Morris, United States ambassador to Japan, and Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambasador here as a result of their recent informal conversa tions, directed to a solution of the problems were not to be interpreted as in the nature of an agreement. It mieht be necessary, they added, for i the ambassadors to resumq confer ences after the two governments had studied the report. Both Secretary Colby and Under Secretary Davis during the last few days have been engaged in studying the Morris report, but they have not as yet reach the point of taking up the question with President Wilson. WHOLESALERS CAN'T GET BOOZE PERMITS Attorney General Makes New Rul- j ing For Government Washington, Feb. 3.?The au- | thority of the government to issue permits for the withdrawal of iiquor from bonded warehouses is limited j to, manufacturers and wholesale J druggists, Attorney General Palmer ruled in an opinion made public to day by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Williams.^ Issuance of permits for this dis position of liquor by wholesale also is limited to manufacturers and wholesale druggists, the attorney jeneral ruled. Commissioner Williams said that while 'the attorney general's opin ion eliminated the wholesale liquor, lonlor -frrvm the rierht to uermits, it j was not the inte?tion of the bureau ! to interfere with the disposition of their present stocks. He declined to j say that the regulations wou!d be 1 adopted covering liquor in bonded ] warehouses. Owned "by wholesale! suggested that it might j be possible for tHfe dealers tc dis-! pose of their bonded stocks by the transfer of the warehouse certifi-1 :ates to wholesale druggists or man-j jfacturers entitled to permits. Mr. Palmer's ruling on the ques-' tion of permits for the sale in J wholesale quantities of liquor is I limited to alcoholic spirits, which j have not been denatured. !

P. THOMSON, 3t. Master A. C., S. C. I GERMANY BATTLING TO REGAIN SILESIA London, Jan. 29.?Germany and' Poland are battling bitterly to win the plebescite in Upper Silesia March 15. By this plebiscite the people will determine whether they will come under German or Polish rule. Both countries want this territory because of its great coal resources. Germany, which has had to sur render the Saar Basin coal regions to France, for 15 years, says it will mean total ruin if it loses the Sile-1 sian coal fields. | Poland claims she must have them i. * 1 1 .1 j - i 10 iuei ner industries. Both sides charge unair campaign methods, intimidation and violence, j Though most of the people speak Polish, the territory has been under German rule for 700 years. Political leaders in Germany talk of violence if the allies award the territory to Poland, Vice versa with Polish leaders. The Potfsh legation announces that the Polish general staff is reor ganizing a regular army according to military standards. But it denies: That the army is being mobilized in full strength: That the Poies are concentrating troops on the Esthonian, Latvian and Rumanian frontiers; That there are prospects of re newal of warfare between Poland and Bolshevik Russia. v The legation blames the Germans for the baseless mobilization report, which is to depress Polish currency and credit, to otherwise weaken the country, and to influence the plebis cite. It reports that five classes of the army have been demobilize and that it now numbers only 300,000 men. The legation says the Polish high command expects a peace treaty to be signed with the Bolsheviki in February. In China all the land belongs to the state, and a trifling sum per acre, scarcely altered through long centuries, is paid as rent.
